Finding Space

First, it was an absence of sky. Then, it was a tank of ether. Then, it was a complete void. Now, it may be filled and emptied with quantum byproducts.

Space is the final frontier, though not the only one yet undiscovered. Like withstanding 16,000 psi to reach the sea's bottom, we have generated crafts propelled by 300,000 pounds of thrust (Sputnik I) to reach beyond the edge of blue. And we've only begun to scratch the surface of what's beyond the beyond.

For as constant as space appears to us, it will always be ever-changing, molded by our knowledge and understanding and forever worthy of our attention.
